Hi,

Has anyone seen this error before?

1323301067 1 386 16 media-server-name 0 0 0 *NULL* bptm error
unloading media, TpErrno = Request terminated by tpunmount call from
another process

I was told by the Oracle engineers its usually indicative of an
impending drive motor failure; however, I was wondering if others had
seen this before as well, nothing has changed on the NBU side of
things for months/years so the motor theory makes sense..

Then if you take that and look in the SLConsole logs (or SNMP) you'll see:

STREAMLINE-TAPE-LIBRARY-MIB::slTrapDeviceFreeFormText = STRING:
"\"Drive not unl" ded for fetch - on rewindUnload\", hliLsm=3

So the drive is not unloaded when the picker wants to pickup the tape,
as drives age does the motor performance degrade?

Justin.
